U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who spent five years as a Taliban prisoner of war before being released last month, has been discharged from a military hospital in Texas and will continue treatment as an outpatient, the Army said Sunday.

Bergdahl was transferred from Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, to the nearby Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, said Army spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Carol McClelland.

"It’s a sign of progression, showing he's no longer a patient of a hospital," McClelland said.

Bergdahl's next phase of recovery, during which he'll continue to get medical care and undergo psychological treatment tailored for soldiers who have spent time in captivity, could last anywhere from a few days to a month, McClelland said.

When OJ gets out, he and Bergdahl and baby-killer Casey Anthony can do speaking tours.

I think it would be a real laugh if the traitor deserts again.

That’s very comforting to hear that he’s doing well.

I hope that his mom taught him how to knit, so he can spend some time knitting his very own Muslim bomb belt, to prepare him for re-entering the US population!
